Perkins and Elgersma both bring hope for the short and long term IMO. Don't expect Perkins to be much of a passer but think he'll have a big role and can run stuff for him. Elgersma has the pro arm. Be nice to see him with some receivers maybe next week. He kind of missed all our better Americans. Singer was in after, White in before.

The only way for Elgersma to learn is thru mistakes. The learning curve is steep. Once he adjusts to the speed of the CFL game then he'll play a lot better. He'll have better days.

The law firm of Macleod, Bethel and Thompson.

I agree - it wasn't bad at all. Good to see our new backup qb's - I'm optimistic for this season.

With that speed Gainer might be signed before the end of the game.

I do get great enjoyment from the OB broadcast though. Growing up listening to OB, especially the old late night shows (whistler, shadow etc) are a big part of why I love audiobooks and podcasts. Its also not really summer till I hear a TD blue bombers call on OB.

For sure Elgersma is 24 years old. Stetson Bennet was throwing footballs in college until he was 26. Way too early to pass judgment, he certainly seems to have a good arm, and I like the way he keeps his eyes down field as he moves around in the pocket to create time, obviously my major problem with him was holding onto the ball too long but not an un common problem with young players. Lots to work on for sure but I’m not worried yet.

I'm not as down on the qb play as some. For elgersma he's got such limited pro experience, if he's got a decent head on his shoulders he can learn and improve. Rourke was pretty **** his first season in BC too. Perkins has some limitations but you can probably come up with a gameplan he was execute. If the Bombers can't establish a run game won't really matter who is at qb.

Wow - Doug Brown not holding back on Wilson leaving the team prior to the first PS game. Can't say I disagree - may not like how things look, but why would you quit before you even have a chance to outshine the guys you believe are ahead of you? Another side note - DB and DT joking about broadcasting on scaffolding for the first time, getting sea-sick with the wind. Hilarious! Only in Saskatchewan...

Gatkouth...showing well Yeah me too...let him smack that ball

Perkins get second half? Dixon..Jenkins.. woodbey..Williams..all looked good on defence..

If the defense can get this kind of pressure in the regular season, they'll be a lot more fun to watch.

Jalen Smith on blitz gets home..hope he gets lotsa rotation..dude makes plays when in and is stud on teams

smith soo fast. close to hitting coan high good body control great would be better

Jenkins playing to the whistle.

Stars, Singer, White, Smith, Jenkins, Dixon, Williams, Woodbey, Andrews, and Lidster. Honorable mention to Perkins, MCI, Wallace and Clercius. Goat horns / cut, half the wrs, Pace, and Elsbury for sure. Crunch of the game, MCI on kick cover. HH, Clintons pick 6 that was crazy impressive. Awe thats dirty, Reese with 2 horrible decisions on hits. Golden leg kick of the game, tie between the 67 yard punt through the air by Andrews and the 50 yard FG on his first attempt by lidster.

The Rider colour guy is terrible at his job. Does @DTonOB give the names of players on the visiting team that make plays? The Rider pbp guy almost never did.

That was an entertaining pre season game.

Pretty nice pass by Perkins right there.

the ball was 7 yards short of him, if he kept running it would’ve been 15 yards short

Give Corcoran props there Perkins looks poised and at ease...more reps he gets i think he be pretty useful...u can see he has played pro ball

I'll be damned-Corcoran

corc with a snag i take back 2 of the bad things i’ve said about him great rope of a throw

soft holding call

Singer's got the waggle down.

Plus was working with garbage receivers once white and clercius went out..

The Aussie

That was one helluva punt!

Plus Dixon wears short shorts.

Where have both of you been the last 5 years lol

I think to be fair he’s been thrown to the wolves. Oline not really moving the ball on the ground so, also only receivers catching balls are white and now singer. But definitely being humbled. I don’t think Perkins would look much better honestly.

Nope...2 steps and he in 5th gear..at his size and strength he gonna pop a lot of big runs

I was gonna say that it's not like the reffing is ever epic during the regular season.

I think I've heard enough about TE for today... It's time to see Perkins.

Singer = good. I sure hope Perkins gets the 4th quarter.

woah mci in super speed mode

Bailey was held too...and still got off it to pressure the throw

gatkouth with a great inside rush

jenkins and dixon making our not bringing in more edges look brilliant we need to bring in dts. a nose would be great but we need depth at dt a lot these guys ain’t it

Addison likes to get his nose dirty...me likes Korn..pace...Hooper...all have made zero case to stay I hope we dont keep korn on roster cause he Canadian.. we have lotsa options to rotate Lawson off..we dont need a useless scrub just cause birth certificate

Singer the first American receiver other than White to make a play.

nice pass there.

Burrell hasn’t been impressive at all. Neither has Pace.

Yeah...Bailey as well was solid...he very assignment sound and is an athletic Smith I think should see a lot of rotation..just seems to have nose for the play...and is explosive in attack..he basically a Canadian Woodbey. They both have same attributes and make plays Also Griffin had that SAM area locked down...barely any plays went there as he had it locked up...

Yeah...him..shay..Smith...can all be interchangeable..

ellsbury has taken all the c snaps though eli came in for heavy set for first pre season game it’s been a pretty damn good game

the D is making the riders pay a physical price to make every play. love to see it

Williams and Woodley have been noticeable on D. In a good way. The game speed is nice. Good pace

jy throwing every thing and the kitchen sink at the riders

Williams looks smooth
